El Arenal holidays

Soft white sand, emerald waters and stunning views make El Arenal the ultimate Majorcan resort. The star of the show has to be the beach, which stretches a staggering 6km towards Palma! That said, the area itself is by no means inferior, with a vibrant nightlife that’s a magnet for the party crowds.

Beachfront paradise

With rich blue tones all around, this sun-blessed resort is a total winner if you’re looking to top up the tan or keep active. Rent a pedalo, pull up a lounger, visit waterparks, try out mini golf, dive in – there’s an unbeatable line-up here. What’s more, it’s animated from beach to bars.

Explore a concrete jungle

In El Arenal, you’ll be really close to the bright lights of Palma city. Go in search of family fun – there’s one showstopping cathedral, plus a web of museums and galleries – or take advantage of absorbing the local culture. It really does combine beach with cosmopolitan hub, so have your fill!
